1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundExercise cardiac catheterization is the gold standard for diagnosing diastolic dysfunction and impaired pulmonary reserve in patients with Fontan circulation. The diagnostic value of noninvasive parameters is unclear.

methodsPatients who underwent simultaneous exercise hemodynamic evaluation and peripheral venous pressure (PVP) measurement were included. Echocardiographic surrogates for ventricular filling pressure were compared with invasive measures. Diastolic dysfunction was defined invasively as either resting pulmonary artery wedge pressure ≥12 mm Hg or exercise pulmonary artery wedge pressure >20 mm Hg.

resultsTwenty-nine patients were included. Age at catheterization was 34±9 years. Atrioventricular valve systole-to-diastole duration ratio (S/D) and resting PVP were significant predictors of resting pulmonary artery wedge pressure (S/D: β=0.71 per 0.1 S/D [95% CI, 0.16-1.25];

conclusionsThis study presents a simple, noninvasive approach for evaluating diastolic function and pulmonary vascular reserve in patients with a Fontan circulation.
